Go Ds

There was a lot of talk but I'm not sure it signifies that much. I noticed the guy thought we lost by 7 points in Round 3 to Port (which we won, of course). Did he make any other errors? A bit like 'forgetting to carry the 1' in maths it wouldn't take much for this analysis to be quite inaccurate.

Yes, STAFF call him Chin. I just don't have any involvement with staff. On TV he's just Chandler. Obviously there's plenty of things you'd expect almost any Melbourne fan to know. But sometimes it's easy to forget some things aren't. BTW I found this. All it needs is the new recruits to be added. I think someone called Xavier Lindsay 'Francis' (which again I had to work out). I can only guess the rest.

No, I meant BACK THEN I had to work out those nicknames. (Actually I still think I've only heard the nickname Chin on here) And, yes, a list would be useful.

Nothing's gonna stop us now.

Hmm, I reminded of an IT Crowd episode. Also while pronounced differently it's kind of weird/ amusing that Salem's nickname is spelled the same as a notorious debauched film.

It's all good. I know ultimately that if people feel like their reports are not appreciated they could easily not bother.

I've been enjoying the training reports for a couple of years and ultimately you track watchers have the upper hand on whether we get to read them. But there have been times where I've had to go check the Melbourne FC website to work out who Chin or Disco or, say, CS is (or hopefully in the subsequent posts). As I was getting at, you guys give and us readers just receive. So thank you, thank you, thank you. But it would be nice if it was always obvious which player is being referred to (so just the obvious nicknames like Trac, surnames and perhaps acronyms for the triple-barreled names such as Moniz-Wakefield's would be an improvement). For the sake of typing a few extra letters suddenly nearly every Melbourne supporter would recognise, say, it's Chandler you're talking about , rather than having to scratch their .... chin. (Oh and these days I'm guessing most players are into that hippety-hop stuff and I'm not sure there's now many NWA's, Wu Tang Clan's or Public Enemy's alongside the Kendrick Lamar's and Drake's. And would every player's favourite film still be The Shawshank Redemption. I haven't looked at a Record in years. :) )
